Our haematology team manages the full range of blood and bone marrow cancers — in adults and children. Every treatment plan is explained in simple language so you and your family understand what is happening and why.
Cancer of blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. The four main types — ALL, AML, CLL, and CML — each have different treatments. CML, for example, is now managed with daily tablets (imatinib) with excellent outcomes.
ALL · AML · CLL · CMLCancer of the lymph glands. Hodgkin lymphoma is highly curable with chemotherapy. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma has many subtypes (DLBCL, follicular, mantle cell) — our team diagnoses and treats them all, including with CAR-T for relapsed cases.
Hodgkin · Non-Hodgkin · DLBCL · FollicularCancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Often causes bone pain, anaemia, and kidney problems. Modern treatment with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and daratumumab has dramatically improved survival. CAR-T is available for relapsed myeloma.
Smouldering · Active · Relapsed/RefractoryMyelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), polycythaemia vera, essential thrombocythaemia, and myelofibrosis are commonly under-diagnosed in Nepal. Our pathology team — with flow cytometry and molecular testing — provides precise diagnosis and risk stratification.
MDS · PV · ET · MyelofibrosisChildren with leukemia and lymphoma are treated by Dr Ritu Lamichhane, our dedicated Paediatric Haemato-Oncologist trained at Tata Medical Center. Childhood ALL has cure rates above 85% with proper treatment — your child does not need to go to India.
Childhood ALL · AML · LymphomaAplastic anaemia (bone marrow failure), Waldenström macroglobulinemia, and other rare blood disorders require specialist haematology expertise. These conditions can now be diagnosed and managed at KCC without travelling abroad.
Aplastic Anaemia · WaldenströmMany patients come to us with only "blood cancer" on their report. Our team will review your bone marrow biopsy, blood counts, and reports and give you a clear diagnosis — explained in plain language. WhatsApp us your reports for a free initial review.
Blood cancer treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Your plan depends on the cancer type, stage, age, and overall fitness. We explain every option clearly before starting — in Nepali if you prefer.
A revolutionary immunotherapy where your own blood cells are re-engineered in a laboratory to find and destroy cancer cells. Previously available only in India or abroad — now accessible in Nepal through KCC's Cellular Therapy Clinic.
First-line treatment for most blood cancers. Proven regimens like R-CHOP (lymphoma), HyperCVAD (ALL), and BMP/VRd (myeloma) are administered by trained oncology nurses in a safe, monitored setting at KCC.
Drugs like imatinib (CML), ibrutinib (CLL/lymphoma), venetoclax, and bortezomib target specific cancer pathways. Many are taken as daily tablets at home. We monitor you closely for side effects and response.
Rituximab (lymphoma), daratumumab (myeloma), and other monoclonal antibodies help your immune system recognise and kill cancer cells — often with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.
Used selectively in blood cancers — for lymphoma consolidation, CNS prophylaxis, solitary plasmacytoma, and palliative bone pain in myeloma. KCC's radiation oncology department is on the main campus in Bhaktapur.
A breakthrough cancer treatment previously available only in India or abroad. Now accessible in Kathmandu through KCC's dedicated Cellular Therapy Clinic.
CAR-T stands for Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapy. Doctors collect blood cells from your body, re-programme them in a specialised laboratory to recognise your specific cancer, then infuse them back into your bloodstream. These engineered cells hunt down and destroy cancer cells — even when surgery, chemotherapy, and other treatments have stopped working.
CAR-T therapy is used in specific situations — usually for patients whose cancer has come back after 2 or more lines of treatment (relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, ALL, or multiple myeloma). Our haematologist will review your full history and test results to assess eligibility. WhatsApp your reports to ask.
Trained at leading cancer centres in Nepal and Abroad , our haematologists bring specialist expertise to Nepal — so your family does not need to travel abroad for high-quality blood cancer care.

Accurate diagnosis is everything in blood cancer. The wrong diagnosis means the wrong treatment. KCC's dedicated haematopathology team ensures your diagnosis is precise before any treatment begins.
Our pathologists work hand-in-hand with haematologists. Every bone marrow biopsy and peripheral blood film is reviewed by specialists. We do not just report a number — we give you a diagnosis you can act on.
If you have a blood cancer diagnosis from another hospital in Nepal or abroad and want a second opinion, our pathology and haematology team can review your bone marrow slides, biopsy blocks, and flow cytometry data. Send your reports on WhatsApp to get started.
Our City Clinic in New Baneshwor houses Nepal's dedicated Cellular Therapy Clinic — making advanced blood cancer treatment accessible in the heart of Kathmandu.
A dedicated BMT unit is being developed at KCC. We are now performing complete pre-BMT evaluations. Where urgent BMT is required, we coordinate with trusted partner centres. Nepal's dependence on India for BMT is ending.
